Incredibly excited to announce the next BES release: “The St. Louis Sessions” EP out June 19th on DeepMatter Records. Today we release the first single “Chartreuse” featuring local St. Louis players Jawwaad Spann on Saxophone and Josiah Burton on Trumpet. Recorded by Austin LeMoine.
This will be released as a 10 inch vinyl record, which you can preorder now! Album and singles designed by Dean Bengsten featuring photos of mine.
These sessions took place at Austin’s home studio which he built in STL. I brought some of my demos down from Chicago to St. Louis and we invited Jawwaad and Josiah over for an experimental session that we tracked right in his living room. After meeting for the first time and bonding over a shared taste in tunes and drinks, we recorded the horn takes live together over these demos. Their incredible musicianship and the roomy sound that Austin captured really elevated these tunes and made the collection feel uniquely their own. Proud to share them and blessed to work with such talented people!
Hope y’all dig! Huge thanks to Eamonn Prizy, Patch Romanowski, Jackson Ramsey, Jason Balla, Dave Vettraino, Dean, Katie & Troy, Morgan, Louie, Alex Aguayo, VK & Paul, Teej, Tom & Max, and more!
